There’s nothing we like more at bv02 than helping great clients launch successful digital projects. That’s why we’re so happy to see that Futurefunder.ca, a crowd-funding platform launched by Carleton University last month, is receiving so much positive attention from the university community and the media.
I’ve been saying businesses need to go mobile for over a year now. That question isn’t up for debate, with mobile web traffic projected to surpass desktop browsing in the next few years, but the questions about technology remain. Are platform-specific websites the way to go, with a site specifically built for iPhones and another for Android devices? No. In this video blog, I take a look at why responsive design is what you need to be considering when thinking about the mobile web.
I made a promise to myself about 8 months back that I would stop talking about “the social web” on social media. It just seemed too insular. I am going to break that pact with myself here. You should take 10 minutes and read Henry Blodget’s breakdown of Mark Zuckerberg’s Letter To Shareholders. The article really describes just how online businesses are changing the rules and norms of traditional business. Whether it be user rights or shareholder rights, we seem perfectly happy to let them push for change, and in fact, we jump on board, right up until it doesn’t go the way the “traditional market” wanted it to go or assumed it would. Then, all hell breaks loose.
“Use GPS-enabled digital cameras to photograph Arctic wildlife 500 miles north of the Arctic Circle, and contribute to a growing online citizen science database.” Sounds like a pretty great adventure, or an excellent line in a job description, right? While it might be both, it’s also what a group of teens will be doing this summer at Arctic Watch Wilderness Lodge with bv02’s support.
Whenever I go to a video shoot, people are often surprised when I pull a DSLR camera out of my bag. Shocked that I’m using what they thought was only a photo camera to film with, they’ll often ask me about it. This usually ends up becoming a conversation about the advantages of using a DSLR to shoot video, which is why I’ve decided to break it down for everyone. This is why, here at bv02, we film video with a DSLR.
When working on a video for a client, friend or just myself, I am often faced with the question: where should I upload the video, YouTube or Vimeo?
When bv02 goes to a conference, we don’t just “go to a conference.” It’s far too analog for our taste. We like to bring an interesting digital experience or two, and the Canadian Museum Association’s 65th Annual conference at the Hilton Lac Leamy was no exception. That’s where we debuted MasterPieces, our collaborative digital canvas.

When we hired Brandon Brule, our newest Web Developer, we knew he could work magic in multiple coding languages, and we quickly learned that he might be one of the most contagiously enthusiastic people we’ve ever met. What we were surprised to learn is that he’s also a talented rapper! When we asked him for [...]
It’s customary to give an acceptance speech when you get an award, but what about when you get nominated for an award? For example, what if one of your online videos was nominated for a Webby Award, the most prestigious award given on the internet? You’d obviously be thrilled, because you share the honour of [...]
